In Reply to: Bali Bags - Prices?? posted by angela_lisa on Thursday, 10. March 2005 at 11:31 Bali Time:
I previously used to think that size 7 or 8 were the biggest cause that's the largest I'd seen in most places.When I was out on the big walk for my dear friend Helen - re the phone cards I took some time out - OK Bopgirl & all I WILL be totally honest & say I ducked into a shop near Bemo corner to escape from the Kuta Cowboys who had been hitting on me all day to look at bags.
For the first time ever I saw Size 9 bags.It was a very friendly elderly middle aged Chinese lady in the shop who tried to sell me a Size 9 bag for absolute peanuts.I can't remember the exact price but I can remember it was VERY cheap.The fact is I did not need or want another Sports type or any other bag.The shop was just down from bemo corner on the right hand side as you head towards the beach & they had heaps of bags in the windows,it may have even been on the corner.As I said they were SO cheap - may be worthwhile for anyone to check out if you are after one of those big Bali bags.
BTW - Ketut at Ketut's fixed price shop in the little gang just off Garlic lane also has or can get the big bags - I think up to size 7 or 8.
